# 2.2. Templates

Templates have been introduced by OS/2. KFM has some - not really that powerful but never the less nice - feature to support them. All files in the Templates directory are supposed to be templates ( I think you would not have guessed that! ). Move for example an template for a Lyx letter in here, or a default Makefile or whatever. Even complete directory structures may act as templates. If for example a project you start always has the same directory structure, you can create such a structure in the templates directory. Then you change to the directory where you want to have a new document/project/what-ever. Open the Menu `File` and there the submenu `New` and you will get a list of all installed templates. Just select one to create it. This way you can create directories, too. The idea is simple but useful.
